    Händler, deren Tätigkeit auf die Abwicklung von Kassageschäften in Devisen (Forex), Edelmetallen oder Rohstoffen beschränkt ist, unterstehen keiner Aufsicht durch die EBK. Kassageschäfte liegen vor, wenn die Händler die Netto-Positionen ihrer Kunden für jede angebotene Devise, jedes Edelmetall oder jeden Rohstoff vollständig und dauernd absichern (Spiegelung).

  7. look maybe your EBK is playing games on our lives? I don't want to risk my 500K. Swiss laws have two faces in my opinion. They can say one thing and do another. Do I want to end up with the freeze of my 500K ? No! that is money I cannot afford to lose. I say good bye Swiss companies and hello any bank! I will not deposit with NFA Brokers as well. In my opinion big banks are lobbying the government to get rid of Brokers since Banks now have the technology to offer to retail and they see that a big chunk of their profit goes to brokers. Anybody who is smart should consider this at least for some period of time in my opinion is save to be with banks if you can of course. But I trade on MT and It is hard to find Bank with MT. I have account with Varengold when they used to be Finex and they offer MT.

  9. You're certainly not alone, I'd say many traders are echoing this sentiment with what is going on today. Makes the bank guarantee option offered at Duka all the more appealing. It's unfortunate that other brokers (US-based) don't offer something similar to that.

    ....I am forex trader and i have 500 000$ with Suiss broker

    With 500k$ ask on ET?


    Very doubt ... Trader with 500 k$ must knew all in he*s field .


    But give you a suggest,which to date suspect to be best from fund protection perspective , but from author not tested with real money ...

    http://eu.hotspotfx.com/open-an-account/client-money-protection/

    but it is offered only for EU clients ,not for USA .Possibly you must
    discuss legal matter very deep with London and NY office .


    Platform is ECN ,good but not have reserved html and java version for heavy network conditions (AMTD ,OXPS ,SWIM
    in stock and options offer 3 versions)

    Demo version with real quote ,paper money you can ask
    without charge

    but you can ask by www.currenex.com(technology provider)
    possibly this found some for you ,if case is true ,that you are trader with 500 k$

    Your respectfully


    P.S. Author is not payed agent by any broker and to date not involved in forex spot trading. Opinon of the author possible not suited for another*s
